Day 10: You Were Made to Make a Difference

Key Bible Verse: "For we are God’s masterpiece... to do good works." – Ephesians 2:10 

 You were made for more than survival. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. When you serve, you start to live out what God put in you. At Great Commission, we believe that discovering your purpose happens when you start giving your life away in service.

Teams aren’t about filling volunteer slots. They’re about building people. Whether you love music, kids, coffee, or helping behind the scenes—there’s a spot for you.

Serving grows your faith because it moves you from sitting to sowing. You become the hands and feet of Jesus to someone else.

Try This:

  • Think about this: What do I love doing?
  • Ask us for help finding your best-fit team.
  • Not sure where to serve? Let us help you find a place. 
    • You can try out a few spots before committing. :)
